The prologue to my upcoming publication, Viewer as Protagonist

In this post I want to share my journey of building my first home. I know with Canada's current economic state, buying a home is a big commitment in many ways. First thing I did was consider a lot of factors when deciding where to build my home, including my introverted and calm personality.

Happy 2023, everyone!

The 2022 wedding season has flown by, and I am still at a loss for words going through all your emotional, heart-wrenching, tear-jerking cinematic footage. Seriously, going through the video files of the past year has made me rethink and better understand what deep love looks and feels like.

To my delightful surprise, I represented Toronto and Canada as I received the award for 3rd most awarded wedding filmmaker of 2022

I had the great pleasure of joining Ben over on the Make Better Wedding Films podcast! It was a fantastic chat getting to tease some topics for the upcoming Abracadabra Workshop, touching on:

I am super excited to say I was listed as one of Giggster’s top 10 wedding videographers in Hamilton, Ontario Canada!

Awarded best international wedding cameraman and colorist of 2021. First place as best cameraman of 2021 and first place as best colourist of 2021, both in the international pool of filmmakers. I am beyond honoured to be able to share this achievement beside my idols in the industry and the people that I continue to look up to.

Thank you Peerspace

I cannot thank Peerspace enough for this wonderful news. It means the world to hear that the work that goes into these couples' wedding days is seen. These couples are heard. These couples are felt. Once again, thank you Peerspace for the love on your fantastic website (and a big shotuout to everyone else who was on that last!)

How to help make your award-worthy wedding film.

I agree that the quality of your wedding film will be heavily dependent on the filmmaker you choose (and their choice of shots and editing style), but I would also like to add that your film is heavily influenced by the choices you, the couple, makes.

Below are the 150 questions that I believe it takes to grow a meaningful, intimate, long-term relationship. Specifically for you and your potential wife / husband / spouse-to-be.

“Love is in the air! À propos of Valentine’s Day approaching, I caught up with Hamilton-raised and internationally recognized wedding filmmaker and The Art Of Love blogger Aaron Daniel. Having worked throughout Ontario and internationally, Aaron has made an incredible career for himself in the wedding industry.” – Kristin Archer

Tomorrow is not real. Yesterday is not real. The only reality is what is happening now. The present moment is all that was and all that there will ever be. For this reason, you must not depend on tomorrow. "I'll do it later" is a phrase that must be erased from your vocabulary. Instead, "now" is the only thing you can rely on.
